From the early 1960’s to the late 80’s, extensive exploration for uranium ore took place in the former Yugoslavia, including Croatia (BRAUN, 1984). Prospecting activities by the Croatian Geological Survey identified several locations in the Slavonian Mts. (Croatia) with an increased level of radioactivity (BRAUN et al., 1983), particularly in the area of Mts. Psunj and Papuk. The Carbon age of ...

We associate to a finite digraph D a lattice polytope PD whose vertices are the rows of the Laplacian matrix of D. This generalizes a construction introduced by Braun and the third author. As a consequence of the Matrix-Tree Theorem, we show that the normalized volume of PD equals the complexity of D, and PD contains the origin in its relative interior if and only if D is strongly connected. In...

Braun multiplier is one of the parallel array multipliers, which is used for unsigned numbers multiplication. This paper presents different techniques for optimizing the multiplier in power and delay parameters. The dynamic power of a multiplier can be reduced by using bypassing techniques and delay can be reduced by replacing ripple carry adder in the last stage of full adders by optimized add...

We have tested 35 teratogenic and 20 nonteratogenic chemicals or drugs in a short-term, in vitro assay that identifies teratogens by their ability to inhibit growth of an established line of human embryonic palatal mesenchymal cells. Only those chemicals that exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of growth at concentrations less than 1 mM were classified as inhibitory. An Aroclor-induced rat li...

The genus Mycosphaerella Johanson, contains more than 3000 names (Aptroot 2006), and has been linked to more than 30 well-known anamorphic genera (Crous 2006a and 2006b). It has a worldwide distribution from tropical and subtropical to warm and cool regions (Crous 1998; Crous et al. 2000 and 2001). Mycosphaerella, however, has been associated with at least 27 different coelomycete or hyphomycet...
